Dahlia Fuzzy Wuzzy

Add a touch of whimsy to your garden with Dahlia Fuzzy Wuzzy, an intriguing Pompon Dahlia that charms with its unique form and vibrant hues. Each compact bloom boasts layers of tightly arranged, rounded petals in shades of bright red and creamy yellow, creating a striking two-tone effect that stands out in any setting. This variety’s small, globe-like flowers have a delightful texture that draws the eye and adds depth to garden beds and borders.

Dahlia Fuzzy Wuzzy reaches a modest height of approximately 70-80 cm, making it perfect for both front-of-border plantings and containers. The plant is supported by sturdy, upright stems and complemented by lush green foliage that highlights the playful blossoms. Flowering from mid-summer through to the first frost, this dahlia ensures a season filled with cheerful colour and visual interest.

A unique feature of Fuzzy Wuzzy: It is a Fimbriated Dahlia, a type recognised for its unique petal structure that sets it apart from other varieties. Fimbriated dahlias are defined by their petals, which are split or fringed at the tips, creating a delicate, feathered appearance. This fraying effect gives the bloom a textured and almost ruffled look, adding a sense of movement and lightness to the flower.

Each petal of a fimbriated dahlia like Fuzzy Wuzzy appears to have been artistically cut into fine segments, creating a visually intriguing display that catches light and shadows in an ever-changing play. This characteristic makes the flowers appear more dynamic, adding an element of whimsy and sophistication to any garden space.

The intricate petal tips also enhance the bloom's overall size and visual impact without adding bulk, making Fimbriated Dahlias like Fuzzy Wuzzy a stunning focal point in any planting scheme. This petal structure not only draws attention but also pairs beautifully with more traditionally shaped dahlias and other flowering plants, enriching the overall texture and interest of garden beds and floral arrangements.

We supply top-quality Dahlia Fuzzy Wuzzy tubers to British gardeners seeking a distinctive and fun addition to their outdoor spaces. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil and position in full sun to enjoy its full potential. Regular watering will support its growth, but be cautious of overwatering. In colder regions, lifting and storing the tubers over winter will preserve them for seasons to come.
